"Yes I guess afterwards if your good he'll treat you to dinner and a movie," Iris said looking at Vas and chuckiling at his joke.

"If the mood strikes him" Vas said. He liked having someone to talk to.
((you mind taking care of the convo part by Mercedes??))

"What do you mean," Mercedes grinned at Raphael.
"When the moon if full, it makes people crazy," Iris said glad there was someone to talk to, well someone who wasn't so serious.

Vas turned and looked seriously at Iris, "I don't think he needs a full moon" he said before smiling.
"How did you know?" Raphael said to the man. He was more annoyed now than anything else, if it had been to him, Raphael would have killed him then and there, but there was information he needed.

"Well, yes he is strange all the time," Iris said smirking and giving an amuse snort, "But I guess that's normal."
"Know what? I know many things," Mercedes said, "Come with the territory of having Precog."

Vas chuckled, "I have never seen anything from him that could be considered normal. But I suppose that is just the way he is. So, how did you meet him?"
In the back of the truck however Raphael just sat back and looked at him. "so you can see the future. How well does that little trick of yours work?"

"I use to be a student of his, but we lost touch and then I was forced to hunt him down and kill him. But for reasons that are my own I couldn't," Iris said, "Next thing I know we're attacking my old boss."
"Not as well as your bitch up there, but enough for me to see what's coming a few minutes into the future," Mercedes growled at Raphael not liking the look Raphael was giving him, "She tried to explain it to me once, something about certian people are able to open their minds enough to see glimpes of the future by the small tears that sometimes form in the time continuium. I didn't really listen."

"I see, but what if the future is unwritten, what if it is all based on your actions that elicit the response?" Raphael said pursing his stare even more.
Vas just raised an eyebrow, "so you are one of the few? did he give you the medalion?"

"The future is never unwritten every action you do branches off to other possible futures, and so on, it all depends on your choices which branch you go down," Mercedes growled trying to break out of his bonds.
Iris smirked and took the Mediallion out of her shirt and showed it to Vas, "You know he wasn't joking when he said I could handle myself."

"I don't think you will break those chains, very strong indeed. Well then, how about when it was your actions doing the fighting, how did that suit you?"
Vas looked at the medallion. "Indeed, that is a rare gift. Not many among even us has even been considered worthy of its possession."

Mercedes grinned, "You're good that's all I have to say, and that Iris has always thrown my powers off, so you got lucky Scarface."
"Funny when I was earning it all I could think about was I was doing the training to defend myself, for survival, now it seems so much more important," Iris said looking at the medallion closely.

Vas nodded intently, the Crux was a prized possession, a symbol of status, of skill. Very few in the world possessed such an item and all of those who did were at least close to on par with Raphael himself. There were only a hand full in the world, maybe ten tops who had earned the right to wear the crux. "That is precious, it will one day be more widely known and may in fact save your life."
Raphael looked the man in the eye and pointed to his face, "we all make mistakes, mine was letting you live when I had a chance to kill you along with the hit that had been ordered."

"Well I guess that's what hppens when your whipped by your mistress. Don't worry I feel for her too, that puppy-dog look she gives is hard to resist. But eventually she'll move on to someone, younger and better looking leaving you alone, growing old, wondering what the heck happened," Mercedes said trying to get a rise out of Raphael. Trying to figure out how the mna ticked so he could use that in escaping.
"In some aspects it already has," Iris said touching the spot on her cheek where Mercedes had slapped her and was leaving a nasty bruise on her pale skin.

Raphael was passive he did not give in to interrogation. The man was a rock, he gave away nothing, he had even convincingly lied about not caring about Iris, it was difficult, but a necessary evil. He stared coldly back at Mercedes. "Everything dies boy, I am getting old true, but I am afraid I may well outlive you."
Vas looked at Iris, and nodded. "some mysteries of the master's behavior are better left as such, I am sure he did not mean anything he said."

"I know it use to be easier when I could just read a guy's mind and know what he ment, but with Raphael he's a constant mystery a puzzle I have to figure out," Iris said before she blushed a little on revealing some of the feelings she had for Raphael.
Mercedes shuddered and looked away from Raphael, he couldn't read his mind, hell he could even get through to his thoughts. Mercedes had never met a man so dark and uncaring, "You know even if you kill me there will be others, to avange my death."

"I very much doubt that sir, you pissed off a lot of people when you decided to end my services permanently." Raphael pulled out the crux on the heavy chain. "this is a status symbol, you have to earn it, very few have, where would all of your bosses find someone to replace my services?" Raphael was still very sombre. "Do you really think they would send more after your utter failure to stop me?"
Vas smiled. "He is a riddle? most days I just do what he asks and don't think about it...I will probably live longer that way. Sometimes he is outright strange."

Mercedes eyes widened as he saw the crux and he shuddered again, "No I didn't know, I've heard of people with the same symbol, please if you kill me do it quickly!"
"I guessed he'd get really mad if we sang, "Building a Mystery," everytime we walked into the room," Iris said her eyes twinkling at the thought.

Vas chuckled, "you should totally do it, it would be worth it just to see the look on his face."
Raphael finally smiled, "and what makes you think that you aren't worth more to me alive?"

"I afraid that not even I could get away with it, singing no, but humming maybe," Iris said with a wicked grin, "I'll do it if you do it."
"You want answers right, well ask me anything and I'll tell you," Mercedes wimpered trying to cover his head with his arms.

Vas laughed. "I have to worry about such things more than you, sure, it will be worth it, but not tonight, he is in a bad mood tonight."
Raphael sat back in his seat, "In time. In time."
The truck pulled into the compound and The Prisoner was transferred to Lucifous and Praeconnor.
